        @BBCNews If teenagers can get married & die for their country, why not vote? They should have one "age of majority" for all rights & duties.

        @sportbilly2014 @bexxyg @BBCNews Far too many people vote after reading fables in tabloids. Teaching politics is a great idea.

        @BBCNews I dont think the majority of 16/17 yr olds have the first clue about politics. But then neither do most adults. So sure, why not.

        @BBCNews A line must be drawn at an age of reasonable maturity, that being 18 years of age - 16 is too young.

        .@BBCNews Might also have little effect if young voters remain disenfranchised. Should be accompanied by efforts to up political involvement
